I think I'm happy with how the info pop-out works. The goal is to give a quick tooltip explanation with a more detailed explanation available by clicking the info icon.
Here's a preview of how it looks for the "Needs Info" feature in #TempusGameIt.
Let me know what you think!
Dangit, I've dropped down the rankings over on #TempusGameIt because of my gaming indecision, lol. I haven't found a game I want to settle in and actually play, so I just log in / out multiple games, then repeat.
Well, that and I've forgotten to boot it up a few times now too.
Yes, I know it is an anti-pattern but I put a clickable “learn more” question mark icon in a tooltip that can pop off an info icon. But at least it won’t pop another tooltip, but a dialog.
A UI designer I am not.
New #TempusGameIt blog post here explaining the new welcome flow recently released. I tried to detail the problems that I saw with onboarding and how we went about solving them.

Low fanfare update to #TempusGameIt this morning. It includes:
* A welcome screen to help new users learn the basic details of app and get started
* An update to the Add button on the catalog, so it is more prominent and clear on purpose
* Assorted socket fixes in an attempt to help improve some poor update behavior
* A fix for detecting running Steam games on Ubuntu
As always, feel free to check us out at https://tempusgameit.com
Weekend #TempusGameIt development (i.e. "fun coding") will be to launch the first run changes (I've previewed them a bit last weekend on this very account!). I'm also considering adding some additional “More Info" spots to the client, and making the “Add” button a lot more prominent.
IRL has bananas lately and I haven't had the mental capacity during the week to tackle all this unfortunately.
I want to communicate a few important points:
* The app itself runs from the tray and has a website front end
* There are some canned apps we support when finding games, but you can add folders to find more
* You can look at your profile online and connect to your steam, battlenet, etc account
* Here is how you can find us and engage with suggestions and support
* Press the scan button to get started!
I think I'll work each of those into a focused card.
Been working on a first run page for #TempusGameIt. This would be what a new user would see when they install the app and it launches for the first time.
In general, upon reflection, I hate it. 
There's too much information crammed onto a single view. Maybe I'll pull the information into cards on a carousel. Yeah, I think I like that better.
Debating whether or not I should be sending emails from #TempusGameIt for various reasons. The ultimate goal is to make sure that it is clear to a user how to get in contact. And an email is a good old fashioned way of handling this.
I think the app should have a clear menu item for this. And maybe an email as last resort, like "you registered two weeks ago and haven't submitted any time". But even there I don't know the effectiveness.
